Kane School District has the largest kindergarten classes in many years, with 130 students currently enrolled in kindergarten across the district. In an effort to provide additional support services to kindergarten students and parents, the Utah Legislature has approved funding for all kindergarten students to enroll in Waterford Upstart. Also, if you have a student who will be entering kindergarten next school year, they are also eligible to enroll in the Upstart program for free, but the registration must be completed by December 15, 2021. You can enroll your child into the Waterford.org Upstart program by visiting https://www.waterford.org/upstart/ or by calling 888-982-9898 Monday-Friday 8 AM to 8 PM, and Saturdays 8 AM to 5 PM (MST).Upstart Program Highlights:
